Gross Words per Minute from Supplied Keystrokes Calculator — change the supplied values to calculate gross words per minute from supplied keystrokes.
User-selected word convention; no net accuracy score, locale assumption or actual lexical word count. All monetary inputs use one selected currency with no currency conversion. Numerical binary64 projection.
Accepted inputs: Measured keystrokes: 0 to 100,000 keystrokes; Sample duration: 1 to 1,000 minutes; Chosen characters per gross word: 1 to 20 keystrokes/word.
How the calculation works
count/(minutes*characters)
Normalize character count by supplied characters-per-word convention and elapsed minutes.
Worked example
With measured keystrokes 1,500 keystrokes, sample duration 5 minutes, chosen characters per gross word 5 keystrokes/word, gross words per minute from supplied keystrokes is 60 words/minute.
Assumptions and limits
User-selected word convention; no net accuracy score, locale assumption or actual lexical word count. All monetary inputs use one selected currency with no currency conversion. Numerical binary64 projection.
